Topic: Our fantastic away support

[sheepfest]

Really pees me off. There are definitely advantages to away teams when fans are pitch side. And visa versa. So much so, I have just put an FOI to the Premier League to ask for all documents related to the decision to allow Newcastle to continue to flout the rules!  Watch this space.

Same here so nice one and await with interest what info comes back.

For all who went scenes looked mad.

The reason why we are still stuck up in the gods even though there are guidelines about where away fans are placed, is one of life’s great mysteries.

Darwin had no choice other than to celebrate in front of the polyester clad army.

I suppose it will take a player getting hit by a coin or angry home fan to make them change it

Does FOIA apply to FAPL? It's a limited company?

Going by Chloe Bloxam's video it looks like the travelling Kop enjoyed the winner.

Shins, limbs, scenes.

[scouse neapolitan]

I've mentioned it a few times on here. It's gamemanship and gives them a big advantage. Only thing is for loads of us to write to the FA to get them to change it. It's against the rules. This lot like to think they're passionate with their plastic flags but they'll never be in our league. Whoppers to the left of me, bellends to the right. Stuck up in the Gods with you!
Excellent stuff from everyone in the Gods yesterday. You were briliant.

They've been exempt since the rule was brought in citing safety concerns.

They claim that no matter where they propose opposition fans be relocated, there's safety issues that prevent it. No idea why they haven't been given a deadline to sort it out.

Home fans often wait for away fans at the bottom. They have Police there but as soon as you go past them to go outside they have jumped away fans before. So if they can't guarantee safety where away fans are now, I don't see why they can't move us. Just so they have an advantage obviously.

and cries and cheers (or pies and beers?) and laughs I s’pose…

We are one good Millwall season away from having to run the gauntlet at the New Den.

That's when I'll be concerned about safety.  No matter where they stick us

[Barrow Shaun]

One of the most beautiful sights in football is our fans going apeshit when we score. They don't seem to show as much on the telly these days so the 'Inside...' videos are appreciated for this, especially.
A lovely sight towards the end there.

[alonsoisared]

After the equaliser there was a really loud version of FOAR, you don't hear that often enough nowadays!

That's brilliant needs to be put up on the Saudis fan page

[ABJ]

Biblical scenes for both goals, still in bits now, would do it all again in a heartbeat.

What a fucking football club.

Old Testament or New? Show me which Book you mean. I must read the fucker.

It's a surprise Darwin hasn't been charged by The FA for inciting the opposition fans

To be fair they looked so shell shocked they’d have needed an electric shock to cause any movement.

[Barrow Shaun]

To be fair they looked so shell shocked they’d have needed an electric shock to cause any movement.

That must have absolutely melted their brains when you think about it. 1 nil up, woodwork twice, opposition with 10 for ages, only 9 or 10 minutes left and thinking about the beer and bars after the game........

Then that happens.

Anyone remember the League Cup tie at Millwall in 2004. We had the whole end, if memory serves me right.

[Shanklygates]

Yes. They threw a brick at one of our coaches on the way down.

We usually get lower tier but didn't that day in case.

It wasn't so bad in there and they couldn't get to the coaches after the game. I imagine it was worse for those who made their own way to be honest

Still hope they don't come up though

#purplebins banner is what I remember most though

That was the night the police kept us in after Millwall taunted us about  Hillsborough.

Shithouse fan base.

And their chairman, Theo something off Dragons Den, started banging on about how terrible our fans were as a disabled Liverpool supporter was knocked out of his wheelchair in the melee to get at their fans. Then the same LFC fan appeared on the news saying something like it didn’t bother him one bit, and if he wasn’t disabled he’d have joined in the charge. That shut that Greek fella up!

The following day I was glad we got kept in, everyone was raging, there would have been serious trouble. At the time though...

[monkeyharris]

In all the understandable fury about the on field shite yesterday the travelling Kop have to be commended for the support yesterday
Knowing we had our backs to the wall we chanted and sang our hearts our for the lads. Brilliant show of solidarity and to stay and applaud the team who knew it and appreciated it

[Alan_X]

Echo that. While Spurs fans were busy celebrating winning the league everyone bar a couple applauded our players and manager.   

[Cormack Snr]

Great support today .. Went there in the 80's, won 4-1
.

[CHOPPER]

By the skin of their teeth last night.....Happy Scalls 15 minutes before kick off.

Through the wind and the rain, they say.


Neither fate of man or act of god, will stop this lot.

Clothes piss wet through last night and still drying out.  It was challenging walking out of the  ground.   Solid performance from our fans throughout.

The walk back to the car was grim, felt like someone had just poured a bucket of water over my head, the rain was that heavy. Jeans, coat and shoes just sodden. Luckily stayed mostly undercover in the ground and thought our end was pretty good considering the conditions.

[ljycb]

Special mention to my colleague Ian who returned to Liverpool from Bournemouth at half three this morning and was in the office when I rolled in at quarter to nine.

[monkeyharris]

Shit ground innit
Three tiers ..our songs go like Frere Jacques

But was a proper boss equalising moment and they let us out straight away so taking a win fan wise

[emitime]

Exactly why I think we should go with the original plan for the anny Road end and split the away fans over both tiers. Worth a few hundred capacity loss to pretty much neutralise away fans.

This is still the case isn't it? It's only Anfield they get pride of place (at least once the views improve with new stand).

Everywhere else you're in the gods out the way, stuck at the side or split over tiers.
